Curt Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2009 Mazda 5

Today on the 2009 Mazda 5, we're going to show you the Curt Cargo Carrier for 1 1/4 and 2 inch hitches, part number C18110. First we're going to go ahead and show you the bushing that converts this from a 1 1/4 shank up to 2 inch shank. Basically just snaps into place and when it is inside the hitch it will hold together. However in this case in our Mazda 5 has the class 1 1/4 receiver hitch, we don't need this bushing. Let's go ahead and just pop it off to the side. Let's go ahead and put it into our receiver hitch and we'll line up the threaded hole with the existing hole in the hitch. Okay now we'll go ahead and put our hitch pin or bolt, we'll go ahead and put it in and we'll thread it down.



Curt Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2007 Mazda 5

Today on our 2007 Mazda 5 we're going to be test fitting 20 by 48 Curt cargo carrier for inch and a quarter and two inch hitches, part number C18110. This has a carrying capacity of 300 pounds. It has this nice mesh floor in the bottom here which is going to make it easy to clean. And we have these points all the way around the cargo carrier which will serve as tie down points for either your ratchet straps or your bungee cords. Measuring from the edge of the bumper to our outer edge, we've added 27 inches to the rear of the vehicle. Ground clearance is going to be about 14 and half inches and then our closest point is going to be about seven and a half inches to this edge. From the center of the hitch you can hold it at the same point.



Surco Products Hitch Cargo Carrier Review - 2007 Mazda 5

Today on our 2007 Mazda 5, we're going to be test-fitting the 20 by 48" Surco cargo carrier for inch-and-a-quarter hitches, part number 52017. This has a carrying capacity of 300 lbs. It has this nice mesh floor here which is going to make it easy to clean, and then we have this railing all the way around the cargo carrier which can serve as a tie-down point for either your ratchet straps or your bungee cords. Measuring from the edge of our bumper to the outer edge here, we've added about 24-and-a-half inches to the rear of the vehicle. The ground clearance is about 11 inches, and the closest point is going to be about three inches to this edge here, and from the center of the hitch pin hole to that same point, it's going to be about seven inches, so just keep that in mind if you have a different style hitch installed on your Mazda 5. The exhaust is going to be on the driver's side, but it's facing slightly down and it's about eight inches away from the cargo carrier, so if you we're worried about it, you might want to put more heat-sensitive material more towards the passenger side. With nothing in it, we have full access to our rear hatch, but I'm going to go ahead and give you a break-over point measurement, and that's the measurement of where your hatch would come into contact with whatever it is you're hauling. That looks to be about 16 inches, so just keep that measurement in mind when you're loading up your gear. This does not come with a pin and clip to attach it to the hitch, although you could find one on our website. Today we used part number PC2.
